Hair Loss Treatment

Everybody is experiencing three stages of hair growth. However, due to several aspects, from environment to genetics, the result is varied, causing alopecia or baldness for some. And since there are different causes, there are also different types of hair loss and treatments.

The most common type of hair loss is the Androgenetic Alopecia or the so-called Male/Female Pattern Baldness. Hair loss can be seen on most top parts of the scalp. For men, receding hair line is the most visible sign of androgentic alopecia.

The second most common type of hair loss is the Telogen Effluvium (TE). This type of alopecia is commonly related to severe or sudden stress that causes the hair to shed. Although happens to men and women, the latter are usually affected by TE due to certain events that only they can experience such as childbirth, discontinued intake of oral contraceptives, and miscarriage. In most cases, TE is a temporary phase of hair loss and hair will soon grow back when the person has already recovered from stress.

We also have the auto-immune hair disease called Alopecia Areata which can be first experienced during childhood. Like the two mentioned types of alopecia, it also affects both men and women. The first sign of Alopecia Areata is the patchy hair loss usually happens on the scalp. One who has Alopecia Areata may also undergo severe hair loss causing all of the scalp hair to shed. There are also some cases of Alopecia Areata where one does not only experience scalp hair loss but loss of all body hair as well.
